    Who though? The best one we have isn’t signing a new contract by the looks. Don’t think many are getting rave reviews at Lowland League level to justify it.

    Turley and Anderson could definitely be in contention I reckon. I think frame will go out on loan.

    As much as I agree with the sentiment, the league cup is only a maximum of 4 games a season. That alone is not enough to significantly impact development or persuade young players to stay.

    There’s also a strong argument that first team players sign for us for a chance to win trophies. Taking one third of those opportunities away from some wouldn’t be a popular move.

    Give him to the end of the window as back up to Taylor... We have other business to be doing anyway and he's our best chance of integrating an academy player into the first team over this summer..

    New contract. Loan him out to a team in our league and get him in the squad next season. The kid has something

    If we see another youngster that shows potential walk for a pittance, I'm going to scream.

    Why sign another LB when this laddie can push Taylor.

    Here's the next £10m player in our Academy...

    If we bring in the likes of bueno we will need to loan Anderson wisely.. did Dundee bring in an adequate replacement for beck? Really like Anderson. Id be happy enough bringing in no one and letting him challenge Taylor for first choice..

    Thought he was better than Taylor when he came on.

    Get him tied down to a new contract and loan him to another SPFL side this season.

    Well I agree with that. But given BR is trying to sign a left back to compete with Taylor, I think loan is the best option for him this seasob

    As much as I appreciate what GT brings, if he's not happy accepting the deal we've offered him and the thought of playing second fiddle, then I think he'll be offski. A quality LB with Anderson deputising would be good enough for me.

    I like Taylor personally, think he adds alot when inverting. But he does have some deficiencies so I can see your argument. I'd be happy with Anderson as a backup this season.

    Aye don't want to come across as dissing GT, he's been a big player for us, last season's poor form granted.

    It's actually difficult to work out how the situation will pan out. Just looking at Andersons last couple of run outs I'm more than willing to throw the bhoy in. Sink or swim.

    Nah, we need an upgrade on Taylor with Taylor pushing the upgrade..

    I'm excited about this lad, but get him loaned out a season of top flight football here. Then maybe he'll be ready to start next season.

    A loan for a LB could work this season as we assess Anderson and Frame..

    Or sign a LB who is an upgrade on GT and have Anderson as second choice.

    Not sure whether it would be more beneficial to loan him or to keep him here as second choice/competition to a new left back. He already looks like hes up to the standard and ready to play for us but we also want someone a bit more established to come In so I think it just depends how much time we think our backup left back will get this season? Never know if the starting left back could get injured either. Then again if it doesn’t look like he’ll play much another full season of playing regularly in our league will be better.

    Either way, we need to tie this lad down on a new contract, no messing about here Celtic

    Liked how he played when he came on .. challenged the opposing player soon as they had the ball, didn't move back from him and stood up well making the player question his next move. Like him a lot

    Punt Taylor, use the money towards a new 1st choice left back (not a loan) and keep anderson as back up. That's is the absolute ideal scenario.
